World book day

March 2, 2014

Thursday 6th March 2014 is World Book Day. A day where we celebrate the authors, illustrators and books.

To this date I can still remember dressing up as my favorite character and going to school with some money and my book token. I always used to get some excited about what kind of book I would be able to find and get for myself (yes I was a big book reader and also young – so its ok to get excited about books!)

Did you know that this year (2014) will be the 17th year celebrating World Book Day??

In a recent survey about children’s favorite characters (ran by Fancy Dress Ball) the results showed Harry Potter at the top and unsurprisingly with a clear lead.

What character will your child/children be dressing up as this year?? I’m going to be buying myself a nice new book to celebrate 🙂
